Ways to Green Your Music

Buy the music of entertainers who support sustainability endeavors. Many of today’s musicians

are going green big time. Some are running their tour busses on clean-burning biodiesel fuel and also

recycling all their show waste. Download their music online (legally, please) to diminish the packaging waste and fuel that would be used to delver the

products to your door.

Green Your Friends

Lead by example, and also encourage your friends to do whatever they can to become eco-friendly.

Sometimes it takes a push from a good friend to encourage someone to go green.
